Here’s a 2006 challenge: Locate another Skidmore graduate in your area or region, and get in touch! As we start to anticipate and plan our 40th reunion in 2007 (May 31–June 3), it would be great to connect with a classmate. I have a sense that it can be an affirming experience. The Class of ’67 is in many ways a re-inventor. I encourage members to check www.skidmore.edu/alumni to explore Skidnet, regional Skidmore club events, and other services available to alumni. These include career-networking programs, social events, and lectures by Skidmore faculty, as well as theater, museum, ballet, and musical performances, sporting events in an area near you, and Skidmore-organized travel opportunities.

Bev Harrison Miller’s daughter Brooke ’99 is happily settled in West Palm Beach, FL, where Hurricane Wilma’s eye went directly over her condo shortly after she moved there. (She has a post-doc at Scripps Institute.) She had no damage, “thank goodness,” says Bev. Son Noah quit his job; he joined Bev and Wayne at Palm Island in February and then was off to Argentina for a month. Bev celebrated her 60th birthday with a trip to Bermuda for a few days, where they were joined by Brooke. Mom and daughter are off on a “girl trip” to Madrid in April—a graduation present for Brooke, who’s doing a dressage riding program with one of the Olympic team members.

Barbara Rosen shared news from Albuquerque, NM: “I am still enjoying my work as the distance-services librarian for the University of New Mexico and as the online/virtual librarian offering complete library services for Western Governors University, an online university.” She was married last spring, honeymooned in Paris and Berlin, and says, “I began a great year and new chapter of my life.” She has not changed her name, but says, “It wouldn’t matter if I had, as my husband’s name is Rosen as well!” Barbara met her new spouse in Albuquerque in the early 1970s; their paths crossed again just two years ago. She says Bob was educated on her past during “great visits and laughs” with Fran Novack in NYC; Nancy Sherbrooke in NYC and at her newly remodeled home in Bristol, RI; Holly Teasdale Brunelli at Dia Beacon in New York; and Lesley Prager McCann in New York.

Pam Scharmann Stewart moved from the chilly Northeast to a new home in Fearrington, NC. With the Stewarts’ kids spread out in Maine, California, and Virginia, they decided to travel to visit them rather than relocating. The couple is busy finishing off their basement, and Pam is slowly reopening her vocal studio.

I had a fun weekend visiting and hiking with Andrea Peterson Mauro and her husband, Charles, in October. I passed the big 60 with reasonable grace: a long weekend with husband Frank at an inn in the eastern townships of Quebec, followed by a celebration with the women in my aerobics group. Check out the Class of ’67 Web site to see the photo (I am second from the right). In other news, I market and sell Arbonne International Swiss-formulated skin-care products, color, nutrition, and aromatherapy. Frank and I were immersed in a potential Division III basketball championship for our Thetford Academy team (sophomore Nick is a major contributor).
